'Bowlers like Shaheen Afridi aren't born everyday. Agar woh World Cup na bhi khele...': Pakistan great's strange advice

Hindustan Times  

Pakistan cricket fans were left heart broken earlier last month when fast bowler Shaheen Afridi failed to make it to the team's Asia Cup squad as he was ruled out of the entire tournament due to a knee injury. He was immediately sent to London for his rehabilitation process with Pakistan Cricket Board revealing that the youngster is making a steady progress towards recovery for a return to the T20 World Cup team. But ahead of his big comeback, Pakistan great Aaqib Javed has made a rather strange statement, advising Shaheen on his T20 World Cup plans. However, in a recent interview, Pakistan's World Cup-winning pace bowler Javed has advised Shaheen to not risk his injury and make a return just for the World Cup.
